Got back from mexico late last night. The flight was delayed because of another stow storm in Edmonton, which closed down our international airport. Don't get me wrong....the holiday was fantastic! I got burned to a crisp, the water was great, the food was great.Both my wife and I were ready to phone home to tell our kids that the house in Edmonton was their's.....we are staying/starting a new life in Mexico. :rofl:

coins-3_zps6467ca23.jpg


Here are the coins I dug.....about 6 hours worth of hunts. I only brought down the AT Pro with the 9" x 12" concentric coil. It worked well in the dry sand, had to be reground balanced in the wet sand and would not work in the constant churning of the wave activity in the water. If I head back next year, I am bringing the Infinium along also to hunt the water.

Although I did not get any rings, I did get this tiny heart with glass stones and a dog tag from Toronto. It was a great week, too short as are all holidays and I am waiting for our final melt which should open up most green areas and start to open up some water hunting spots.
 
Nice finds.

(i believe your dogtag is a cremation tag)

John,
My wife and I have had that same thought when we get a week at the beach ... but we would miss the dogs, so we go home anyway!
Sounds like you had a great trip!
Cheers,

Hey cool finds!! Sounds like you had a great trip, big swing in temps from what your used to I would say! I wondered about the AT Pro in the salt water, I know they show a video of it being used in the surf but I just wondered if it would really be useful. I have an AT Pro and love it but I doubted it in the surf but did you use it in the wet sand? I would have expected it to do ok there and maybe find a ring or two. I just recently picked up and Infinium and have the 10x14 DD and the 8 and 10" mono coils. Which of those coils would you expect to work best on the wet sand and in the surf? I'm thinking maybe the 10x14 mono? Anyway congrats on the finds and the trip, looking forward to your local finds too, I enjoy reading your posts, HH!! Bootyhunter
